My yoga journey...

I first found yoga in 1999, just before the start of the new millennium. I loved how enriched I felt after each class; how relaxed my body felt. As a physical exercise it gave me so much more than the other forms of exercise I'd routinely practised. I knew I wanted more. Soon, I was delving into the history and philosophy of yoga and was pleased to discover a whole world open up.
A good friend Introduced me to Andréa, my first kundalini yoga teacher. I was introduced to a deeply spiritual yoga form that invites students to embrace mantra and mudra, pranayam and meditation. My practice, and my love of yoga, found a new and fulfilling level. ​Over the years I've practiced hatha, yin, vinyasa, ashtanga, restorative, anyurasana and acroyoga. I'm currently teaching both hatha and kundalini yoga. In my personal practice, I'm exploring the Moon, Sun, Fire yoga tradition. There is always something new to learn or opportunities for deeper experiences. So, take time to explore yoga in all of its many facets. You'll find countless benefits in whichever form your heart settles.
My journey as a yoga teacher began with a teacher training certificate in Kundalini Yoga (200hr). This was followed up with a second in Classical Hatha/Vinyasa (200hr). I follow the traditions of Swami Sivananda, Swami Vishnudevananda and Yogi Bhajan. I am also a Menopause Yoga teacher, accredited by the British Wheel of Yoga and Yoga Alliance Professionals.
As a student I am on a lifelong exploration of all the many aspects of this ancient, beautiful science. As a teacher, I'd love to walk this path with you.​
Why Ife Yoga? ​Ife is a West African name, from the Yoruba tradition. As a black woman living in the diaspora, it connects me to my original West African heritage, but it also reflects how I feel about the practice of yoga because Ife simply means 'love'.​​​
